THE KILLERHERTZ are from Kastrup, a small town near Copenhagen. In early 2011 the band was founded by singer and guitarist Thomas Trold (ex-PitchBlack) as well as drummer Kent KillerHertz, both being bonded by an intense friendship since their childhood. Lead guitarist Fonster (ex-In A Void, ex-PitchBlack and ex-The Omnihil) and Jonas Roxx on the 4-strings finally completed the line-up. In 2014, the four Danes released their first full-length album, “A Killer Anthem”, which alike the new epos “A Mirror’s Portrait” was recorded in the Earplug Studios and mixed and mastered at the Sweet Silence North Studios by Flemming Rasmussen. The debut was extremely well received, whether by the critics or the already established fan base of the quartet. «A sound that brings the audience back to the glorious days of the 90s.» – True to this motto, the lyrics on “A Mirror’s Portrait” are put into shape organically and stand apart of banal Heavy Metal stereotypes. The multi-dimensional aspects of everyday life, such as interpersonal crises, broken relationships or loss, are portrayed in a sensitive way and touch the listener. Influences by Metallica or Megadeth can be heard in the songwriting as well as a musical reference to classic Hard ‘n’ Heavy of the quality class Sinner or Pretty Maids. THE KILLERHERTZ offer the highest level of variety and joy of playing in terms of sound and songs. This recently can be heard on tracks like “A Mirror’s Portrait”, trying to fathom the world of souls, “Crash and Burn”, in which life has to follow a diversion, or the furious “Renegade Patrol”. The band sees itself as a link between the 80s and 90s Heavy Metal scene combined with more Modern Rock and a pinch of Danish Rock vibes. With the anthem “Teenage Rebellion”, which can be heard in the current music video, band leader Thomas Trold deals with the rapid growth of his children, facing the consequences for his own rebellious ego, which now acts as a role model. THE KILLERHERTZ are young enough and fired up for more, wherefore plans for quite a lot of concerts run at full speed.

On “A Mirror’s Portrait” THE KILLERHERTZ provide great guitar work, which definitely stands out from the Copenhagen underground scene. With the album the dream to get out of a small city onto the stages of the world is within their grasp: THE KILLERHERTZ deliver pure modern Hard Rock, which don’t need to hide from its idols and which thrills from the first second. Where hard passages hit radio and wide screen Rock structures, the success cannot and should not stay away!
